These Are All the New Adult Swim Projects

Six days ahead of Adult Swim’s annual upfront party Wednesday, the network has announced a staggering lineup of new projects.

The Turner-owned network has ordered one new series, six new specials and 12 new pilots. The new series, TV Sucks, is a quarter-hour animated sketch show from Brad Neely (China, IL) featuring one-off bits, shorts and songs. Neely and Dan Weidenfeld will exec produce, Dave Newberg will co-exec produce, with Titmouse, Inc. producing.

Among the many names attached to the new slate, Seth Green will be busy with a new special, Robot Chicken DC Comics Special III: Friendship Is Magic, and two pilot orders.

“Adult Swim has always been known as a place for taking risks and for great talent trying interesting things,” said Christina Miller, president and general manager of Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang. “[Creative director] Mike [Lazzo] and his team continue to raise the bar, always knowing what the Adult Swim fan wants; and this new slate of original programming adds to our growing lineup of successful primetime comedies.”

“There is no better environment for an advertiser seeking to engage and connect with this sought-after millennial consumer,” said president of Turner ad sales Donna Speciale. “Through premium top-rated multiscreen programming, custom-produced branded content, on-site media activations and digital engagement, there is limitless return potential for marketers aligning with us and this valuable brand.”

Among the 15 original series set to return are Childrens Hospital, The Jack and Triumph Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever and Rick and Morty.
